Question

Jahlil made 14 pints of ice cream. He gave 1 quart to his neighbor and then made milkshakes with half of the remaining ice cream. How many quarts of ice cream did Jahlil use to make milkshakes?

Answer 1

She used 3 quarts to make milkshakes.

Explanation:
Jahlil made 14 pints of ice cream.
She gave 1 quart to her neighbor .
as we know 1 quart = 2 pints
so we subtract 2 pints from 14 pints.
remaining icecream = 14 - 2 = 12 pints
Then she made milkshakes with half the remaining ice cream
half of 12 pints = 12 / 2 = 6 pints or 3 quarts
Therefore, She made milkshakes with 3 quarts.

Answer 2

6 pints or 3 quarts

Explanation:

We can represent the actions onto the ice cream with mathematical operations. First, we can represent giving 1 quart away as subtraction:

14 pints - 1 quart

= 14 pints - 2 pints

= 12 pints

So after giving 1 quart to his neighbor, Jahlil has 13 pints left. Of these 13 pints, he uses half to make milkshakes. We can represent a half by dividing by 2:

12 pints / 2

= 6 pints

= 3 quarts

So, Jahlil used 6 pints or 3 quarts of ice cream to make the milkshakes.
